Even though it was never going to be anyway, it's somehow kind of heartbreaking to know that the Starbound LP with Jesse is never going to be finished.
Man, I'm going to feel weird posting LUL in twitch chat from now on. Every time I want to laugh at a streamer for being stupid I'll be reminded that TB's dead.
Or the exceptionally entertaining play-troughs with his wife.
Fuck cancer.
Just... fuck it all. We lost an icon today.
Saw this coming but it still hit me like a truck.
Say about him what you will but he was a force of good in the industry, always been. Always stood for the consumer. Gave so many talented indie devs a chance to shine. Never gave in, not even on the literal deathbed. What a fucking inspiration. No other way to put it.
God thank you for reminding me, I think that his videos with Genna were genuinely some of my favorite content. I'm just going to go watch some of them for a while.
Cancer is fucking bullshit
Was prepared for this, but I still can't believe he's gone.
There's really nothing to be said but what a damn shame. And my condolences to his friends and family. I learned about a lot of games and creators I love through him and some of his videos helped me grow as a person.
I hope the afterlife's option menu is up to snuff. Rest well you glorious human being.
I had a concerning suspicion that Totalbiscuit's passing was a possible future outcome for him. This news is heart sinking, since I used to watch his Youtube videos in the early 2000s. Rest In Peace.
This is fucking me up. I've spent a little under half my life watching his videos, since his coverage of WoW: Cataclysm during the beta, I must've been like 10 years old or something, just glued to his content. One of my earliest memories of him is when he was checking out the Worgen and there was a bug where every time he moved forward his character would start this snorting sound effect, and so he started pushing the forward key and basically made a techno beat out of it. I laughed my ass off. I remember BluePlz and watching Azeroth Daily religiously back when he made content for Warcraft, and even after he quit during Cataclysm I still kept watching all of his videos. I remember the first WTF is...? video he made, and ever since then, whenever a new game came out, I would always wait to see his take on it before seeing if it was worth my time. He introduced me to many youtubers who would become my favorites, some even to this day. Jesse Cox from his Terraria series, the Yogscast from the Magicka playthrough.
His videos have been a huge part of my life for so long. I've been dealing with depression for half my life and during many of my lowest points it was his videos with Jesse and Dodger and all the others that would keep my hopes up.
I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for him. Godspeed, you beautiful cynical bastard.
god damn, did not think this was coming so soon. i only watched like maybe a couple of his videos in total, but still, RIP
Man, I don't know what to say.
I suspected he wasn't doing particularly good, he sounded tired and like he was under a lot of medication in recent videos. I was still hopeful he might improve and we could see a bit of the old TB back.
While I didn't follow his every opinion, I did always checked with TB first for any reviews on new games that came out, and still do for older games on sale. Agree with him or not, the man was always brutally honest, and that is one quality I can really appreciate in a person.
Rest in peace TB. And fuck cancer.
What a tragic loss. You'll never be forgotten.
I doubt any "critic" or youtuber has done as much for indie developers or smaller youtubers than TB did
I've been devastated for a few hours now, and I'm honestly out of words.
Just please remember to get checked if you think something's off. It doesn't matter how embarrassing it might be.
I can't remember what's the last time watched one of his videos, but man that sucks.

Community managers at Warframe cancelled their stream after finding out the news.
I know you got some mental problems dude, but for fuck sake...
I feel like we should make a thread somewhere to post favorite videos of his. He put up videos so infrequently recently and going back and watching some old videos on his and Genna's channels is really reminding me why I loved the guy so much.
Feels like a big part of games just died. One of the only personalities who I felt was totally authentic. Fuck it all man.
Damn, I saw that they cancelled it on Twitter but I didn't know it was mid-stream. That's rough.
Fuck, What a shitty thing to wake up too, RIP
A favorite moment of mine:

Jeez, I don't even know what to say.
I've watched him for over 5 years. I've been subscribed to him for over 5 years. It just seems so odd. I always knew this day was coming, but I didn't think it'd be this soon.
I won't forget those hilarious Co-Optional podcast moments, those great "WTF is..." videos, or the entertaining Secret Hitler playthroughs.
I won't forget that he helped me start loving PC gaming.
Hell, we all won't ever forget you.
RIP Bain, you cynical Brit.

I think he meant it out of respect? I know the last two funerals I went to, they played Ave Maria during the hearing.
I don't think anyone will be able to fill his shoes as a voice for video game consumers. His videos and arguments had such a large impact on the industry.
Here's one of my favorites that I forgot was even on Genna's channel

look at it this way, he's going to be remembered with him being happy and laughing, it's a good thing
